Joe Biden’s beach trip in Malibu didn’t go as smoothly as planned. The 82-year-old former president was seen having a hard time setting up a beach chair while spending time with his family on the California coast.
The awkward moment happened near his son Hunter Biden’s home in Malibu. Cameras caught Biden fumbling with the chair as he tried to settle in for the holiday weekend. It took him several tries before he finally managed to sit down.
Biden’s Health Concerns Resurface
This isn’t the first time Biden’s physical condition has raised eyebrows. Just months ago, he was filmed struggling to walk through the sand at his Delaware beach house. During that incident, First Lady Jill Biden had to hold his hand and guide him.
Critics have often pointed to Biden’s frequent vacations, even as the country faces growing challenges. His time off has fueled debates about his health and ability to lead.
Family Beach Day in Malibu
Despite the chair mishap, Biden eventually relaxed under a red umbrella next to his wife, Jill Biden. Their grandchildren, Finnegan and Beau Jr., played nearby along the shoreline.
Photos from the scene show Biden wearing his signature aviator sunglasses and a presidential baseball cap. He also shook sand off his towel before packing up and leaving the beach.
Many onlookers wondered why no one from his inner circle stepped in to assist him, considering his visible struggles.
This marks Biden’s first Fourth of July weekend since stepping away from the White House. But based on this latest beach episode, even simple tasks seem to be an ongoing challenge.
